Streets

Street Maintenance

The Streets Committee oversees a comprehensive program of inspecting, evaluating, and prioritizing for capital construction improvements which covers the entire street system within the City. At least one capital improvement program is executed each year to replace or repair damaged or aging streets. Public Works provides continuous point repairs for localized street and related stormwater inlet damage.

City Street Sweeping Services

Periodically, the City provides street sweeping services. When approaching slow-moving street sweeping equipment, vehicles must approach the equipment slowly and pass only when on-going traffic is clear, and the street sweeping equipment is not in the process of making turns.
